Amazing plugin! Really adds to immersion. Best plugin that does this job, lots of settings to mess with too.

Great work!

This is great extension. Been looking for a general app to do this on any video (svp 4 pro does it also) and stumbled upon this. For the browser / youtube this is very good.

IF you have a dedicated GPU then you will have no issue to run it.. So Smooth, Um loving it !! Keep up the good work guys ..

Super appealing to look at and doesn't have a big negative effect on YouTube's performance, but I recently encountered a bug in which text stops loading on YouTube pages with this active. If that were fixed, it'd easily be a 5/5.

Excelente extension. Muchas Gracias por solucionar el BUG en youtube respecto a los nombre. :D

AI product read

Adds ambient light effects around YouTube videos directly in the browser, simulating TV ambient lighting (like Philips Ambilight) without external hardware

Users want immersive ambient lighting effects around YouTube videos but lack dedicated hardware (LED strips, smart lights, or Ambilight TVs). This extension replicates that effect entirely in the browser.

User installs extension, navigates to YouTube, and the extension automatically applies ambient light effects around the video player. Settings are configurable via the extension popup (options.html). Effects apply on any YouTube video page including embeds.

Target users: YouTube viewers seeking immersive video experience / Users with widescreen or ultrawide monitors / Fans of ambient lighting effects without hardware investment

Monetization

No paid features detected

The extension is open source (GitHub: WesselKroos/chrome-youtube-ambilight). No payment platforms, subscription APIs, license checks, or upgrade prompts are detected. All features listed in the store description are available without gating. The heuristic scan found 'open source' as a negative keyword for paid features.

Confidence: 95
Payment platform: --
Source: AI / High
Login required: No
Reason: The extension operates entirely locally on YouTube pages via content scripts. It only requests the 'storage' permission for saving user preferences. No login UI, authentication endpoints, or account-related code paths are indicated in the manifest or store description. The extension modifies YouTube's DOM directly without needing any user account.
